  • Patent number: 4778068
    Abstract: A baby-feeding bottle convertible between one of larger capacity, e.g., ten fluid ounces, and one of smaller capacity, e.g., five fluid ounces. A lower part and an upper part when assembled to each other, at a threaded connection, provide a container of larger capacity. The lower part is useful, as a container of lower capacity, without the upper part. A collar is useful to mount a pliable nipple on either part. The threaded connection is peripherally covered by an annular rim, which is integral with the upper part, and which substantially conforms to an outer wall of the container provided by the lower and upper parts assembled to each other so as to present a substantially uninterrupted gripping surface to a user.
